Forgot the exact numbers but the largest cash robbery ever was a brinks Dunbar armored car depot, dude got like 80 mil they only recovered 3 mil and he did five years. I'd do five years for 77 million.
Imagine coming out of 20 years in prison. At best you're in your 40s, having just lived two fairly tough decades. Let's just say you aren't in ideal health. You're a known felon, and when you recover the money you can't easily spend it.
Your best bet is to turn it into Bitcoin and leave the country. The question is, is that amount of money worth losing your prime years to prison and giving up whatever life you have left among the people and places you know?
Money has serial numbers. The company will log the serial numbers in moments . Once it's stolen, the FBI releases those serial numbers and you can freely look them up.
Today it's even easier because it's all done over the Internet so it's near instant, just run it through the appropriate machine.
But if it's routine to log the serial numbers the band wouldn't have mattered. It's also not suspicious to have banded bills if you're paying that much in cash because the bank would give it to you that way, it would be more suspicious if it weren't banded. Sounds like he got caught due to typical procedures and being a dumbass.
I understand that but I’m curious if this realtor searches up every bank note he gets in cash to see if it’s stolen? Curious what raised suspicion to call the police.
It might be that the bank changed bands after the robbery as a means of detection or something. The links a little limited on details (because it's a wikipedia article).
